Christianity Killed Rome?
Hmmmm… I always thought it was for internal disputes, the lack of a Roman citizen army, badly managed treasury, influx of immigration, overexpansion, invasions by Germanians, the Goths, the Huns, revolution by the Celtics, the Scotts, and countless other “barbarians” (as the Romans would say) that ultimately led to the demise of Roman.
yes, but it is much easier to blame everything that’s wrong in the world on Christians.
Yes it is !!! No seriously i just said Rome start having problem the same perior christianism came to europe, Christianism was a problem for Rome, but but a problem big enough to destroy their empire, their was other factors…
I just found the reflection “power is on the side of the christians”, particuliary incoherent with history.
i agree. Christians are not supposed to hold power in this world. I don’t believe that a Christian should run for government and impose his Christian beliefs on the populace - that’s not our place, and Jesus never preached that at all (in fact, it’s been repeatedly taught that our life is not supposed to be an easy one, and that we may expect others to not understand us, but rather to persecute us, and seek to stamp out our beliefs). IF the blood of the martyr’s is to be the seed of the church, then it won’t grow as readily without persecution, i guess.
